Our Story
Our Story — No One Should Be Forgotten
Help The Needy 2021 was founded in October 2021 on a simple belief: no one should be forgotten.
For families living in underserved communities across Sierra Leone, putting food on the table can be a daily struggle. Some villages are far from major towns, accessible only after long journeys over difficult roads. Yet behind every journey are families with the same basic needs as everyone else — food, clean water, and the opportunity to live with dignity.
This is where our mission begins.
Each month, our Feeding Program reaches out to communities where assistance is needed. Our ambassador on the ground identifies a village, works with a local guide who understands the community, and coordinates the people needed to transport food supplies to the distribution location.
Getting there is not always easy. Food must be purchased, organized, loaded, and transported, sometimes over considerable distances. Local carriers help move the supplies to where families can gather.
Once the community assembles, our representative speaks briefly with those present before the food is shared among as many families as possible.
While approximately 200–300 people may attend a distribution, many collect food to take home and share with their families. Through this household reach, we estimate that our monthly feeding efforts benefit approximately 900 people.
For us, the mission is not simply about distributing food. It is about recognizing communities that are too often overlooked, listening to their needs, and making the effort to reach them.
Our work has also expanded to include community water wells and other practical initiatives, but feeding families remains central to who we are and why we began.
We are supported by members, donors, volunteers, and community partners who believe that compassion should be followed by action.
One village, one family, one mission at a time — we continue because no one should be forgotten.


Bringing people together through compassion, generosity, and a shared commitment to helping those in need.
Providing practical assistance and essential resources to help individuals and families facing difficult circumstances.

...FED MONTHLY - Each month, approximately 200–300 individuals attend our food distributions, collecting essential supplies for their households. When family members are included, our Monthly Feeding Program is estimated to reach more than 900 people.
Reaching communities in need often means traveling long distances across Sierra Leone, including remote villages with limited transportation and difficult road conditions. This year alone, Help The Needy 2021 and its dedicated volunteers have traveled over 5,000 kilometers to deliver essential food supplies, coordinate humanitarian efforts, and reach underserved families.
The completed Joshua Community Water Well provides an essential water source for approximately 3,000 people in Wellington, Sierra Leone. Beyond those directly served, an estimated 60,000 residents live within the surrounding area and could potentially benefit from access to this community resource.
Through our ongoing feeding program, Help The Needy 2021 distributes thousands of pounds of food each year to vulnerable individuals and families in underserved communities across Sierra Leone.
